Private Hip Surgery

[Gabby61]

Im sure there has already been a thread on this, but has anyone had private Hip Surgery, if so, how did it turn out and where did you go?

MIL had private knee surgery done in Kalispell.
Overall she was happy with it.

A ski guide friend of mine's partner (also a ski guide) went to India a number of years ago to get his done (CBC did a documentary on him). He could get it done in about 6 months and they worked with his doctors here. He had a very positive experience and was pretty much 5* treatment. Not sure of the cost (relatively speaking it was cheap - I'll throw out $15,000, but don't remember), and was an all-inclusive type deal (flights, surgery, recovery - food, accommodations, etc.). His rationale was that he could get it done, and recovered prior to the following ski season (his livelihood), as opposed to having to wait several years on a wait list here, and not be able to work (he lives in BC).

Friend’s mom got it done in Germany about 10-12 years ago, costed him $10K in euros for a month there including surgery and rehab.

You have had this hip since birth can't you wait a bit and have it done here? If nothing goes wrong you can have it done in your garage, on the other hand the University hospital is the best choice.
